MintCache (simple version)

Started by Daniel Ha · 1 year ago

MintCache is a caching scheme Disqus has recently implemented. We posted Disqus’ implementation of MintCache for others to use.

From the original MintCache posting:

We found the original hard to understand. This version is also decoupled from the cache backend that you use.

Thanks, Glenn! Sharing code is a beautiful thing. In case you're interested, one other feature we are considering adding is a "delete" method that merely lowers the timeout on the cached value (instead of truly deleting it), thereby triggering the mint refresh. That way one could avoid the dogpile effect when manually invalidating.

Have always had problem with caching with my hosting account at GoDaddy especially when implemented with Wordpress which is what I use. Was thinking of checking it out myself, but never got around to it.

My concern with disqus is that they hold your data!. Data ownership is really a risk, with the current economic climate are you comfortable with the fact that your data is in tyhe hands of others?. We all need to ensure we manage our business risks during these difficult times.

Great explanation on what are you doing to speed up the process. I didn't know that without mint caching the system will be greatly slow down due to dog-piling. A great way to solve the issue. However, is there other ways as well?
